Thornton, just trying to prove me right

UPDATE - It gets better!

So since I wrote this piece Thornton hasn't scored in 4 games andover that period he has taken 6 shots.

Thanks for the contribution.

Averaging 19 minutes a game, he has ZERO points in 4 games with 6 shots. Awesome.

Savard on the other hand just had 3 assists tonight against the Canadiens. Important divisional game, teams best offensive player steps up and contributes. WOW, what a theory, a player earning his money.

By the way, Thornton has 27 points in 28 games, Savard has 31 points in 25 games. Just thought that might help firm things up. End to the update-

Thornton, just trying to prove me right

He has played 3 more games than Boston's new number 1 and his value and impact is clearly obvious. Boston you lose again.

Joe Thornton
24 Games, 7 goals, 20 assists, 27 points, -5, 12 PIM, MPG 19:16

Marc Savard
21 Games, 6 goals, 21 assist, 27 points, +4, 14 PIM, MPG 19:17

Joe Thornton, your MVP ladies and gentlemen.

Same points, same minutes, same penalties.....

But Thornton is minus 5, ..........MINUS 5!

He is minus 5 on a team that is 17 -7 and is plus 23 in goal difference. That is absolutely unforgivable from the teams highest paid player.

Did I mention that he is also making $2 million a season more than Marc Savard?

In fact, Thornton's entire line is minus five, which means that he and his line have the worst plus minus on the San Jose Sharks. Just out of curiosity who does the number one line generally play against? The opponents checking line, or number4 unit right? So playing against the weakest offensive lines night in and night out Thornton has been outscored. GREAT!

Oh yeah, Joe Thornton's departure has really hurt the Bruins. Is anybody going to wake up to this nonsense. Thornton's entire playoff career has proven he isn't worth a dime. Now he is confirming is status as a player who follows up every good season with a disappointing one.

So the Bruins are laughing stocks around the league for saving US$1 million on Thornton by getting 3 quality players and then saving a further US$2 million by signing a guy who is currently a better points per game player than Thornton. Boy are those Bruins stupid.

PS. at this points last season he had 33 points with the Bruins. Now he has 27 points. He was a shit player with 33 points last year, now what is he with 27 points at minus 5.

Would he be worth trading now?
